Take Me Away
Take Me Away
(Present Tense)

I keep my razor away in a drawer
I know it'll always be there
For I know no one else cares
They tell me it's all okay
I tell them to leave me and go away
I choose to be alone
Love just brings pain
Friends I make never stay
The only love I feel
Is for the blade that I keep so near
It glistens in the sun
It's sharp and welcoming
So I continue to dice and slice my skin
I wish to not die
I live for the soothing pain
I glide it across my skin
It cuts through
The wounds are deep
But I do not feel a thing
I do not cry
For I've cried all my tears
It is not death I fear
I know one day I'll die
It's welcome to take me away
"So Come take me away" I say
Take Me Away
(In this one I’m talking as if I’m dead already)

I kept my razor away in a drawer
I knew it'd always be there
For I knew no one else cared
They’d tell me it was all okay
I’d tell them to leave me and go away
I choose to be alone
Love just brought pain
Friends I made never stayed
The only love I felt
Was for the blade that I keep so near
It glistened in the sun
It was sharp and welcoming
So I’d continue to dice and slice my skin
I lived for the soothing pain
I’d glide it across my skin
It’d cut right through
The wounds were deep
But I did not feel a thing
I did not cry
For I had cried all my tears
It is not death I feared
I knew one day I'd die
Death was welcome to take me away
"So Come take me away" I said
It didn’t take me
I did!
